caption_attribution_description: English: LBJ &amp; LASA High School. Lyndon Baines Johnson High School in northeast Austin, Texas is a high school built in 1974 that later came to house one of Austin's two magnet high schools, the Science Academy. In early 2002, the Liberal Arts Academy, Austin's other magnet high school, was moved from Johnston High School to LBJ, forming what is now known as LASA (Liberal Arts and Science Academy). Español: Escuela Secundaria Lyndon B. Johnson
context_page_description: Liberal Arts and Science Academy is a selective public magnet high school in Austin, Texas, United States. Although LASA is open to all Austin residents and charges no tuition, competition for admission can be strong and is contingent on submission of an application, prior academic record, and the Cognitive Abilities Test.
  LASA shares its campus with LBJ High School, a non-magnet school.
  LASA is often ranked as one of the best public schools in Texas, with a ranking of #5 by U.S. News and World Report in 2018.
  As part of AISD's November 2017 bond, LASA will relocate to the old Eastside Memorial campus, with new school colors and mascot, as well as a new name. The move is expected to take place in 2021.
